Projects

We are working on a number of marine energy projects in various
locations around the world. Our dedicated site development team
works in close consultation with a wide range of stakeholders to
ensure that our projects are developed responsibly.

At Aquamarine Power we are committed to minimising the impact
our projects have on the environment, wildlife and people who
use and enjoy our coastal areas. That's why we begin working
closely with local communities, government bodies and stakeholder
groups right from the start of our projects.

Selecting sites

Our dedicated site development team works closely with our
resource assessment team to select regions for potential wave farms
around the world. We use a rigorous site selection criteria,
which includes technical, geophysical, environmental and
socio-economic considerations.

Working in partnership

As well as carrying out projects on our own, we also develop
sites in partnership with other organisations. We choose to
work with project partners who hold the same values as us, with a
particular focus on integrity and safety. We work with
partners who, like us, believe in building strong lasting
relationships. As part of our commitment to supporting local
economies, we work with local companies wherever possible.

We have been granted, in partnership with SSE Renewables, an exclusive lease option on an area of seabed off the west coast of Orkney. This allows us to start working with stakeholders on the first phase of our proposed Oyster wave farm.

Ireland

We are exploring the potential for developing a number of marine energy projects off the west coast of Ireland. We are one of four technology developers participating in the Irish WestWave project, led by international energy company ESBI.
